  4. protective


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Plant tissues can be grouped into two basic types: meristematic and permanent tissues.

_______ is present in the outermost layer of the plant body such as leaves, flowers, stem and roots.

  1. Epidermis

  2. Phylem

  3. Sclereids

  4. Isodiametric


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The epidermis cells is a single-layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants.

_____ epithelium is found in kidney tubules, thyroid vesicles and in glands helping absorption, excretion and secretion.

  1. Cuboidal

  2. Glandular

  3. Squamous

  4. Ciliated


Correct Option: A

The _____ allows gaseous exchange to occur during photosynthesis and respiration.

  1. stem

  2. root

  3. stomata

  4. bark


Correct Option: C

______ translocates prepared food from leaves to the storage organs and growing parts of the plants.

  1. Phloem

  2. Xylem

  3. Epidermis

  4. Epithelial


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Phloem translocates prepared food from leaves to the storage organs and growing parts of the plants.

The ______ epithelium is often modified to form glands which secrete chemicals.

  1. ciliated

  2. glandular

  3. squamous

  4. columnar


Correct Option: B

Xylem and phloem are together known as __________ tissue.

  1. epithelial

  2. epidermal

  3. vascular

  4. connective


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem.

________ epithelium forms the linings of cavities (mouth, esophagus, nose, pericardial etc), of blood vessels and covering of the skin in epidermis.

  1. Cuboidal

  2. Columnar

  3. Squamous

  4. Ciliated


Correct Option: C

Depending on their position in the plant, meristems are divided into apical, lateral and

  1. longitudinal

  2. intercalary

  3. diagonal

  4. intercostal


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Depending on their position in the plant, meristems are divided into apical, lateral and intercalary.

________ muscles are also known as unstriated, visceral or involuntary muscle.

  1. Heart

  2. Abdominal

  3. Intercostal

  4. Smooth


Correct Option: D

Lignin is a hard substance with great tensile and compressional strength deposited in the cell walls of

  1. parenchyma

  2. collenchymas

  3. sclerenchyma

  4. epidermis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lignin is a hard substance with great tensile and compressional strength deposited in the cell walls of sclerenchyma.

Group of cells having a common origin and performing similar functions is called _____.

  1. cartilage

  2. muscle

  3. tissue

  4. bone


Correct Option: C

________ is a mechanical tissue; it provides mechanical support and elasticity.

  1. Collenchyma

  2. Parenchyma

  3. Sclerenchyma

  4. Epidermis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Correct answer is Collenchyma. Collenchyma provides extra structural support, particularly in regions of new growth.

The three types of muscular tissues based on their location, structure and function are striated muscles, smooth muscles and _____ muscles.

  1. kidney

  2. biceps

  3. cardiac

  4. skeletal


Correct Option: C

____ cells store fats (lipids) in their vacuoles.

  1. Fibroblasts

  2. Macrophages

  3. Adipose

  4. Mast


Correct Option: C

Apical meristem brings about the elongation of the root and stem, which results in the increase in the height of the plant, which is called ____ growth.

  1. primary

  2. secondary

  3. tertiary

  4. retarded


Correct Option: A

The four main types of animal tissues are __________ tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue and nervous tissue.

  1. epidermis

  2. epithelial

  3. vascular

  4. permanent


Correct Option: B

______ movement is the rhythmic progressive wave of muscular contraction and relaxation.

  1. Hand

  2. Skeletal

  3. Head

  4. Peristaltic


Correct Option: D

____ are cord-like, strong, elastic structures that join skeletal muscles to bones.

  1. Ligaments

  2. Tendons

  3. Cartilages

  4. Fibres


Correct Option: B

Fluid connective tissue links the different parts of body and maintains a continuity in the body. It includes lymph and ____.

  1. water

  2. gland

  3. blood

  4. platelets


Correct Option: C

The main function of the ______ is to carry water and mineral salts upward from the root to different parts of shoots.

  1. stem

  2. xylem

  3. phloem

  4. leaves


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 The main function of the xylem is to carry water and mineral salts upward from the root to different parts of shoots.

As the roots and stems grow older with time, tissues at the periphery become ________ cells.

  1. sclereids

  2. guard

  3. cork

  4. epithelial


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As roots and stems grow older with time, tissues at the periphery become cork cells. Cork cells are dead, have no intercellular spaces and the cell walls are heavily thickened by the deposition of suberin. They prevents loss of water.

RBCs are the most numerous and have iron-containing red respiratory pigment called _______.

  1. bilirubin

  2. haemoglobin

  3. fibrinogen

  4. platelets


Correct Option: B

Bone cells are called osteoblasts or _____.

  1. erythorocytes

  2. osteocytes

  3. thrombocytes

  4. chondrocytes


Correct Option: B

The two main types of white blood cells are phagocytes and _______.

  1. immunocytes

  2. erythrocytes

  3. granulocytes

  4. leucocytes


Correct Option: A

The striated muscles are also called as striped, skeletal or ______ muscles.

  1. intercostal

  2. voluntary

  3. involuntary

  4. cardiac


Correct Option: B

_________ serves as a food storage tissue.

  1. Collenchyma

  2. Parenchyma

  3. Sclerenchyma

  4. Epidermis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Parenchyma serves as a food storage tissue. It stores starch, protein, fats, oils and water in roots, tubers (e.g. potatoes), seed endosperm (e.g. cereals) and cotyledons (e.g. pulses and peanuts).
